Third Annual Grovetoberfest: October 19, 2013

This Saturday, October 19, 2013, the Third Annual Grovetoberfest will take place from 2:30 - 7:00 at Peacock Park in Coconut Grove, Florida. This will be my first year. Go figure that I couldn't go last year because of my sister's wedding! So I'm pretty excited about it. There are lots of different things taking place at the festival besides the beer sampling, too. Homebrew contests, live music, cooking demonstrations, and lots of food.

And the beer list is impressive, over 250 options. I'm particularly interested in the local beers from Funky Buddha, Wynwood Brewing, and Cigar City. There are also many new breweries that have started distributing to South Florida since last year's event. Check out Founders, SweetWater, New Belgium and Goose Island!

I'll be there if you care to say hello. Tweet me or email me and I can tell you what (still to be decided) clothes I'm wearing (also good for avoiding me). Oh, I plan on taking photos of as many brewery brand shirts as possible, so wear yours and don't feel weirded out if I ask for the picture!
